Flimsies- for some unknown to me reason are what some quilters are choosing to call their unquilted quilt tops. Personally I hate the reference. The dictionary definition of flimsy is:
Definition of flimsy
(Entry 1 of 2)
1a
: lacking in physical strength or substanceflimsy silkswore a flimsy dress
b
: of inferior materials and workmanshipflimsy construction
2
: having little worth or plausibility
in light of that- I do not make my quilt tops ( flimsy) and truely do not understand why anyone would put that description on something they put so much time energy and materials into.
but, there are lots of descriptive terms I don’t understand.
